Problems and Bugs
=================

   If you have problems with GNU `make' or think you've found a bug,
please report it to the developers; we cannot promise to do anything but
we might well want to fix it.

   Before reporting a bug, make sure you've actually found a real bug.
Carefully reread the documentation and see if it really says you can do
what you're trying to do.  If it's not clear whether you should be able
to do something or not, report that too; it's a bug in the
documentation!

   Before reporting a bug or trying to fix it yourself, try to isolate
it to the smallest possible makefile that reproduces the problem.  Then
send us the makefile and the exact results `make' gave you.  Also say
what you expected to occur; this will help us decide whether the
problem was really in the documentation.

   Once you've got a precise problem, please send electronic mail to:

         bug-make@gnu.org

Please include the version number of `make' you are using.  You can get
this information with the command `make --version'.  Be sure also to
include the type of machine and operating system you are using.  If
possible, include the contents of the file `config.h' that is generated
by the configuration process.
